NAME
CPAN::WWW::Testers - Present CPAN Testers data
SYNOPSIS
my $t = CPAN::WWW::Testers->new();
$t->directory($directory);
$t->generate;
DESCRIPTION
The distribution can present CPAN Testers data. cpan-testers is a group
which was initially setup by Graham Barr and Chris Nandor. The objective
of the group is to test as many of the distributions on CPAN as
possible, on as many platforms as possible. The ultimate goal is to
improve the portability of the distributions on CPAN, and provide good
feedback to the authors.
CPAN Testers is really a mailing list with a web interface,
testers.cpan.org. testers.cpan.org was painfully slow. I happened to be
doing metadata stuff for Module::CPANTS. This is the result. It's alpha
code, but using it anyone can host their CPAN Testers website.
Unpack the distribution and look at examples/generate.pl. Wait
patiently. Send patches and better design.
At the moment I am running the output of this at
http://testers.astray.com/
